1985 Illinois at #6 Iowa Highlights

[@jameswisor2879]

I was a sophomore at Iowa in 1985 and my favorite memory of this game is something that never made it on TV probably. Craig Swoppe, #12, the Illinois Safety was playing in the game despite having been arrested for Drug Trafficking charges the week before. Every time he got close to the band, they would play "Cocaine". It was the best. One time he even stood them looking at them, with his hands on his waist in disgust while they did it. I will never forget that :)

I loved this game, sister was Senior at Iowa and lived in Suburban Chicago the smack down on Illinois was epic. I had this game and Freedom Bowl on tape. Referred to as Iowa blow out tape. Illinois also on probation that year I think and it was off TV with exception of Bowl Game that it was allowed to play. Hence reason for the Illinois telecast that was tape delayed for Sunday Morning, following the Mike White Show.

Hard to believe a Mike White team not scoring at all. Why did the Illini have to visit Iowa 2 years in a row...???
